Summary: All of the Shorebirds Cottages are absolutely perfect to rent for couples, and now, for our whole family! While small and cozy, they had everything we needed, or forgot to bring. We enjoyed the ease of the kayak and bike use and the laundry facilities are pristine! The entire rental is perfectly located and very clean. Jen and Eddie have done a wonderful job fixing up after the 2024 hurricanes-the whole city has done an extraordinary clean-up since our Christmas visit, we were pleasantly surprised! PS-The extra large, super soft bath towels were a bonus! Can’t wait to stay again!

Summary: Awesome cottage, you can really tell the owners put a lot of thought into making sure guests have everything they need. We felt like we could have shown up with clothes and would have been set for the week. Toiletries, spices, sunscreen, beach towels, beach toys, books, you name it and they likely had it somewhere on the property! They even had a welcome basket with snacks, wine, beer and waters. The place was spotless, beds were extremely comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more for our stay!

Summary: Everything about this place was just perfect! The location is brilliant, close to the hustle of Englewood beach and a skip from the nature/splendor of Stump Pass, with bikes SUPs and kyacks to get you from one spot to another. The home owners were exceptionally responsive and the space was so thoughtfully equipped from beach gear to the finer details like travel size shampoos and extras. Most impressive to the foodie-the kitchen utilities were top notch, knives were sharp, quality pots and pans etc. just truly made our vacation over the top!

Summary: I highly recommend the Laughing Gull cottage! It is an immaculate, beautiful and peaceful space shelter from the Florida heat after a day in the sun. The proprietors provide generous accommodations for guests' every need - from pre-stocked cool drinks in the refrigerator to beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, and kayaks available for use right outside the door. The outdoor fire pit provide a wonderful space for guests to gather in the evenings. The lanai in the front of the rental is a nice little space to enjoy coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening in cooler weather. The AC was easy to operate and was wonderful to step into after an afternoon on the beach! When I go back to Manasota Key, I will book the Laughing Gull!
